Yesterday we blogged about an Index launched by Simon Anholt and his team, who helps leaders with Nation Branding. The index tells us how ‘good’ different countries are. For me it was beautiful to see how the index gathers the people of a nation in the same way as we can see each individual. At Olive Retreat we break the conventional rules and mainstream thinking to mind detox and give birth to what each of our guests find healthy for them. When you see that you have a choice, you can chose to be ‘good’. Like this beautiful piece of news that made my day when I read it (and still does).

This young runner realized that the winner stopped running 10 meters before the finish line, thinking he reached it. Instead of passing him, which would have made him the winner, he tries to tell him to continue running and almost pushes him to win. His only comment after, was that he didn’t reflect, he just did what he thought was right. Beautiful!
In my previous jobs I had TV screens shouting out ‘news’ all the time from different channels and from all parts of the world. One day I realized how it affected me, when I thought it didn’t. Of course it does! Now I try to avoid news that won’t give me the ‘goodness’ I need to be healthy. I avoid things that make me sad, fearful, or negative without giving something positive, knowledge and learning. Do I really need to know about yet another murder, robbery, accident, child abuse, domestic violence? I decided I don’t. I decided that for the moment I can’t do more than being ‘good’ myself and I know that effects people around me too. Maybe one day I will work for ecological and human rights organizations again, as I did during my university years.
Instead I click the news that gives me a positive energy, and there are so many when you look for them! Here is another one. A new supermarket just opened it’s first store in Berlin that doesn’t have and containers. Fantastic! Think of all the plastic and paper they save. I could be the future way to do your shopping (as we did before) and I hope there will be package taxes to make the change faster to save our environment.

‘When you see things through glasses of love everything is beautiful’. So do what you need to do to keep those glasses on to be ‘good’.

Naturopaths who deeply believe Natural Immunity is still the best, and therefore we work in defense of it.
Since 20+ years we have successfully been consultants in the natural health sector to support individuals and we are in particular working with entrepreneurs and professionals. Our mission is to defend natural health, the only one that really works so far. We mainly but not entirely use Eastern philosophy such as Ayurveda, TCM, Yoga, Thai chi, Falun Gong, and only honest modern science.
Everyone can heal naturally, it's what bodies and (free) minds want. Our O• Method is based on physics, chemistry and biology with emphasis on the first one as the rest often follow naturally. We divide our work in three parts: Body-Mind-Soul. To allow them all to detox and let go we work with energy (Prana, Xi, Vitality, Spirit, Pneuma or whatever you call the life force, it's the same force mentioned in ancient texts) to heal on all levels, i.e. from chronic disease, toxicity, depression and traumas using our own method, reaching 96% success rate which is unheard of by others in our sector. Would you know of anyone with that result, let us know.
Considering that we invented and dumped >120.000 (petro)chemically derived substances since 1945, of which many are very toxic, getting healthy will most likely include a good old body detox sooner or later.
My love for Ayurveda started in 1993 with Deepak Chopra and after a few turns in life I quit my job as a Nordic Brand Manager and BI strategist at the largest Nordic telecom operator and re-schooled in natural medicine. Besides Dr. Chopra I have studied Dr. Lad, Dr. Siva (Pune, India) and other prominent teachers in their field, but the real difference comes with a practiced. I added nutrition, Orthomolecular Medicine with Dr. Nielsen (USA/Spain) and herbalism.
Today we teach those whom want to continue our work and we love to dig down in etymology and the original (mainly Avestan, Pali and Sanskrit) scripts to understand the words fully and I fall in love with the concepts over and over again for every sutra. This love affair that created a few books (Amazon), presentations, essayes and many events and consultations, is still giving us Yang-Yin balance and inspiration. I guess with that we are recognizing the value of Dao De Ching 💚🌿💜
